Chapter 38: Back on Her Feet
Nyx was laying on her back, slightly damp and with grime starting to build up on her clothing.  She worked the retaining ring free of another pipe and tossed it into her makeshift taser-bowl and watched it start to liquify.
“Sweetie is this entirely necessary?” Her husband said watching over her current behavior.  Cassie fussed a bit in her nervous father’s arms.
“Look at it this way Hector.  We were due to modernize our plumbing at some point or another anyway.” Nyx said twisting another bolt, “We’ll just replace these with pex later”
“That’s hardly the only reason I’m concerned, Love” Hector said eyeing the slug like blob of liquid once-copper that slopped out of the bowl and slithered its way over to Nyx before melting against her and spreading out over her fur with its brothers.
“There’s a very serious problem afoot, you saw the news”
“Could have just been some crazies.  You know, normal crazy loons, and not your… you know”
Nyx Looked up at her husband.  She sighed a bit seeing the look on his face, “Baby.  I love you, but we both know that’s not true.  Its them, and I have to stop them.”
“Anyone else could use the feathers too right?” Hector asked desperately, “You can just teach others how to … Make this liquid metal stuff, right?  How’s it supposed to help anyway? All its doing is covering your torso in copper.”
“I can control it” Nyx closed her eyes and focused, the copper mass that was hugging her around the middle started to slide downwards.  It slid over her hips and down under her pant leg.  When it appeared again it was as an extension to her stump.  A loose lattice of copper struts started to form down from her missing leg replacing it with a mostly hollow replica.  “How’s THAT for a prosthetic?”
Hector sat down, “This is… unbelievable to say the least, but… but still…  why can’t you just…. Let it go… stay with your family for this one and let others handle it.  You’re just learning how to control that thing, you barely know how it actually works.”
“True. I’m not fully sure on all the details, HHMPH.  Like why you can see the modified copper but the modified gold is invisible. HHMMPP” Nyx huffed as she wrenched another nut free then sputtered as the pipe came loose and doused her in a blast of residual water that was left in the pipe, “Bah. Frick, hand me a towel”
Hector and Nyx switched places while she dried off.  He could tell he wasn’t going to convince her so set about busying himself with undoing their home’s piping while his wife toweled off and held the baby.  Once she was dry and had given Cassie her lunch she was going to tag back in when her phone rang.  She didn’t recognize the number as an expected caller so considered ignoring it, were it not persistent in repeating itself when she let it ring out the first time.
“This is Nyx” She said in an annoyed voice, “If you have the wrong number please…”
“Nyx its Skyler”
“Skyler? … Space marine?”  Nyx shifted into a more comfortable position resting the phone against her shoulder while she cradled Cassie, “You didn’t ding my car did you? Cause I’m going to need it back before long you know.”
“No the car is fine. I, This isn’t about the car.  I met someone.” The voice started.
“Kid I know I told you to go pick up a girl, but that doesn’t mean I need to hear about it.”
“No not that, well that too, but not just that, also someone else” Skyler paused to take a breath, “I met someone who was THERE, like. THERE THERE.  And escaped, but never talked to the cops.”
Nyx sat up, “The cops would have talked to everyone that survived” She stood up, a smile spreading across her face as the copper leg supported her weight.  Setting that a side for now though she went to her computer.  Logging in and loading her digital copy of the case file.
Skyler had gone on talking while she was doing this, “Well I don’t think they talked to her because she got out, a different way.  I..” the voice on the phone got quieter, as if he was whispering, “The angel carried her out, you know, the one you attacked?”
“Whats her name…” Nyx said before fully registering, “What the angel?”
“Uh. Its Demetria..  Atasi.. and .. ya she apparently knows the angel.”
Nyx took a moment to process that.  Could her actions backfire on her?  Certainly could, but she needed what she now had, so she just had to hope the risk had been worth it.  The case entry for the girl in question listed her as an employee of Medical Mechanica.  A note added to the file, presumably from information from another survivor, listed her as the CEO’s technical assistant.  The file also listed her as ‘location/status unknown’ indicating that they didn’t know if she was alive or not or where she was. “I need to talk to her.  Can you bring her to me?  I live at…  Skyler?”
She paused as she heard other voices on the line.  They seemed far away, like someone shouting across a room.  She couldn’t quite make out what the voice was saying, but it seemed to get more frantic over a couple of seconds before two loud pops rang out that couldn’t be mistaken for anything but gunshots.
“SKYLER!?” Nyx jumped up, “Dammit are you still there… FUUuuuu-dge”
Glancing down at her daughter she caught herself before scaring her too much then quickly set her down in a crib before dialing another number and rushing down to her husband.
“Hector. I need to go, how much have you got done. I…” Nyx switched her attention to the phone when the person she called picked up. “Hello this is agent Nyx. I need a car to pick me up and I need a tracking search run on a vehicle”
“What is it sweetie?”
“Agent I believe I told you to take some time off”
“I know sir I just…”
“You have been investigating this case anyway”
“I … may have…”
“Nyx the loose cannon type is fine in movies but”
“Sir”
“But this isn’t a movie and”
“BRADELY” She shouted, using her boss’s first name to get his attention, “Sorry, but I just talked to someone who may have info and heard gunshots over the phone.”
“… Where are they. We’ll dispatch someone immediately.”
“I don’t know exactly where they are, but.. if you track my car you might.”
“Why would…?”
“They… he … Look he has my car, I’ll explain later, but you can find them by tracking it”
“Understood, we’ll get on it.”
“They’ll pick me up at my house on the way right?” Nyx waited a moment without a reply, “Sir?...”
A sigh came back through the phone, “Fine.  I suppose I can’t stop you, but you WILL be explaining why you lost your car.”
“Thank you sir” Nyx hung up the phone then quickly set about gathering the rest of the pipes that Hector had removed. “I gotta go Baby.  I put Cassie to bed.”
Hector pulled Nyx into a hug letting out a scared whimper as he did so.
“I’ll be safe baby, try not to worry.” She said hugging him back.
“I’ll try, but you know I’ll fail at that” hector said, “I love you.”
“I love you too”
